Storm work begins with qualified judgment.
Before the crew arrives
Keep clear until it is assessed.
A storm-damaged tree is loaded in ways that are hard to see. These four steps protect you and speed up the work.
- 01
Stay away from the tree
A downed or leaning tree is under tension. Keep people and pets clear of the trunk, the canopy, and anything it rests on.
- 02
Treat power lines as live
If the tree touches a line, report it to your utility provider first. Tree work proceeds after the line is made safe.
- 03
Document what you see
Photos of the tree, the structure, and the yard help the crew plan and give you a record of the damage.
- 04

Storm answers
Frequently asked questions about storm damage
01 What counts as a tree emergency after a storm?
A tree emergency is a damaged tree that threatens people or property right now: a tree resting on a structure, a split or leaning trunk over a house or driveway, or a large limb hanging over an area people use. If any of those describe your property, request an assessment or call.
02 Do you remove trees that have fallen on a house or other structure?
Yes. Removing storm-damaged trees from roofs, fences, and other structures is part of Louisiana Tree Masters' storm cleanup work. The removal is planned and rigged so the tree comes off under control, without adding damage.
03 What should I do while I wait for the crew?
Keep people and pets clear of the tree and anything it rests on. Do not cut anything under tension. If a power line is involved, report it to your utility provider first, and take photos for your records.
04 What if the tree is touching a power line?
Treat the line as live and stay away. Report it to your utility provider; tree work proceeds once the line has been made safe.
05 Which areas do you cover for storm response?
Storm response covers our core service area: Lafayette, St. Martin, St. Landry, Evangeline, Iberia, Acadia, and Vermilion parishes. Extended-service projects in Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, and Houma are planned per job.
06 Are storm damage estimates free?
Yes. Louisiana Tree Masters offers free estimates, including for storm damage and emergency tree work.
